Van Harn trainer...

I was at the Pacific Island Gathering last weekend and I picked up a ginunting trainer that I ordered from Steve Van Harn. I have to say, it is excellent. The length is slightly longer, by several inches from almost all the other trainers out there, and the custom made handle and guard are really, really nice. I plan on ordering at least one more myself, and if you like FMA training blades, you might want to look him up. His trainers are great.

Here is a link to his trainers, the ginunting sample is on page two of the link. It isn't the one that I purchased, but it is how it looks. It was nice too that I was actually able to meet him at the various Gatherings, instead of just over the phone or through a website.

If you're looking for something specific, I can make custom copies of your blades. Some of the recreations I have already done I can repeat
(or are my designs), some are owner specific.

Thanks for the kind words Bill!
I started out making these for myself and eventually for friends as they wanted something custom to match their live blades.
I make each by hand to order usually. Mass production seems to take the live feel out of trainers. Rushing invariably causes similar issues. Hence I don't stump for orders much as I like to turn out good pieces.

If you see something intersting, PM me and we can discuss. Some items are quick to make and some can take considerable time to get right.

Combinations are great if the universe holds still while you execute them
